Stop smoking programme

Can Hypnosis Stop You Smoking?

What if you could stop smoking today?

I have over 15 years experience working with addiction. I have trained in Psychology, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, suggestion-based hypnosis and Curative Hypnotherapy and have worked within the NHS and private practice. From all the variety of techniques I have trained in and the 1000s of clients I have worked with, I believe I have developed one of the most effective techniques for stopping smoking. My specially designed stop smoking programme has been formulated from years of extensive research and for the majority of my clients, only one tailor-made treatment session is required.

How can hypnotherapy stop YOU smoking?

For the majority of smokers, smoking starts at a young age through a conscious decision and before long it becomes an addictive habit. Like any habit, it is hard to break by willpower alone because this has become a deeply ingrained part of who you are. You begin to rely on cigarettes in certain situations, and associate smoking with certain activities. Once this process has begun, the choice to smoke is no longer within your conscious control, so when you decide to give up it is extremely difficult. Non-smokers do not think about or desire cigarettes because it is not in their mindset, as it once was not in yours.

Once upon a time you were a healthy non-smoker who could engage in any activity, any situation, without even the slightest thought about cigarettes. Wouldn’t it be nice to get back to a place where cigarettes no longer consume your thoughts or your life? Hypnotherapy isn’t magic, but if you are committed to quitting and open to the idea of hypnosis, then this could be a very effective way for you to find freedom from your habit.

The aim of the stop smoking hypnotherapy treatment is for you to feel at ease and satisfied as a non-smoker. I want you to feel content, rather than deprived. I want you to look forward to a future of better health and be liberated from the hold cigarettes has over you. For many of my clients, after just one session they experience no craving or desire to smoke, and they don’t need to avoid certain situations or friends who smoke. Nor do they replace cigarettes with food or other crutches.

My programme does NOT rely on aversion techniques or cause you to become repulsed by smoke. I do NOT focus on replacing the cigarettes with positive substitutes. I do NOT need to teach you techniques to mange your cravings. After your session, I want you to become completely unfazed by cigarettes and unbothered by those who may be smoking around you. My aim at London Stop Smoking is to empower you to become a non-smoker, not an ex-smoker.

What about hypnosis?

Hypnosis is simply a very enjoyable and natural state of relaxation that we all experience daily, such as when we’re daydreaming or driving on ‘auto-pilot’. During this state, our conscious, analytical mind is relaxed thus heightening our subconscious and enabling it to become more receptive to suggestion. However, you remain in complete control at all times. It is a myth that someone can take over another person’s mind. You cannot be made to do or say anything against your will; therefore you must be completely committed to stopping smoking in order for treatment to be successful. Once you have made that decision, the treatment can help re-align the subconscious and conscious parts of your mind so that you are thinking, feeling, acting and behaving like a non-smoker once again.

Disclaimer: Results vary from person to person. Whilst no therapy works in 100% of cases and therefore no guarantees can be made, I promise to work professionally and skilfully to help you achieve the best possible outcome.

It doesn’t matter how many cigarettes/cigars you smoke or for how long you have smoked. At London Stop Smoking I have helped 100s of people break their habit.

With the majority of my clients, it takes just one session. The treatment is designed specifically to the individual. No two smokers are the same and each smoker has their own unique habits, desires and associations. I will address your individual smoking routines to give us the best possible chance of success.

Your Stop Smoking Session

Your session is a simple two-step process:

Step 1: I will discuss with you your individual smoking thoughts, behaviours and associations.

Step 2: I will combine this information with gentle yet powerful hypnotherapy techniques, creating a uniquely enjoyable experience from which I hope you will leave a healthy, calm, inspired non-smoker.

After your session you will be given an mp3 hypnosis recording which reinforces the hypnotic parts of the treatment to keep you feeling relaxed and at ease. This is not an essential part of the programme but can be used for added support, particularly in the few days following the treatment session.

My promise to you…

Although it would be unethical for me to offer you a 100% guarantee, this powerful, stop smoking hypnotherapy programme has proven so successful that at London Stop Smoking I can offer a completely FREE after-care service, which means that if you are one of the very few who requires additional support, I will reappoint you with as many free sessions as you feel are necessary within the four weeks following the initial treatment session. All you need to do is phone the centre and you will be given the first available appointment.

This entire package is £340 inclusive.

Why I don’t provide lifetime guarantees

One of the fundamental principles of hypnosis is that as a client you must be motivated and dedicated to achieving your goal. Any thought, idea, suspicion that you don’t wish to become a non-smoker will most likely lead to eventual failure. The subconscious part of your mind works for you and only you, and no therapist can ever override your conscious choices.

My success rate has continuously improved in the 15 years I have worked in addiction, which has been the direct result of my continued training, development of new techniques and research. I discovered early on that offering a money-back guarantee or a lifelong aftercare service will either a) attract those who are not completely committed to stopping smoking, or b) invite those who are committed, to allow themselves a ‘one off’ cigarette, knowing they can always return for a follow-up hypnosis session whenever they ‘need’. There is no such thing as ‘one cigarette’. As soon as you have one, your subconscious will assume you wish to become a smoker and enable you to become just that.

I am dedicated to helping people to become non-smokers, not ex-smokers. I am committed and dedicated to helping every one of my clients to quit smoking long-term so that after your four-week aftercare service has expired, smoking has simply become a long distant memory that never need bother you again.
